Michelle Heaton has marked 100 days of being clean and sober by sharing a candid photo from the day she entered rehab.
The former Liberty X singer checked into The Priory at the end of April for four weeks, after hitting “rock bottom” during lockdown.
Taking to Instagram, the 41-year-old posted a photo she took on the morning she entered rehab, alongside a selfie she took today.

She captioned the post: “100 days! Clean and sober! 100 days ago I took this photo, the morning I went into rehab.”
“I remember waking up after yet another night of a party for one, alone by myself in utter madness and chaos.”
“100 days on, and I wake up (with still tired eyes), but tired from just a restless sleep, not a drugged up binge,” Michelle continued.
“All I could see was darkness, now I can see light. Where there was pain I feel joy. Where there was no hope I have comfort.”
“I hate to preach .. but here I go! I’m preaching to the still suffering addict. You are not alone, you are me, I was you!”
“If you are in pain if you are controlled and have became powerless to this disease only YOU can label yourself!” the mum-of-two wrote.
“Admitting you need or want help is the first and hardest step. Let’s beat this! One day at a time. Not for tomorrow, just for today! Help is out there.”

During a joint interview last month, Hugh admitted he feared Michelle would die during her battle with addiction.
